Alignak daemons have an HTTP JSON API that allows to get information about the daemons status. Especially, the arbiter daemon has an endpoint providing many useful data to be aware of the global Alignak framework status.

Note

This part of the documentation is still to be improved. Many information exist that are not yet enough documented !

Thanks to collectd, some metrics can be easily collected and provided to a graphite database. Then a smart Grafana dashboard allows to have a nice interface to monitor your Alignak instance :)

Tip

all the necessary information to implement this feature on your configuration is available in the project repository contrib/collectd directory.

Alignak daemons are logging some internal metrics that may be notified to a StatsD or Graphite server. These metrics are mainly intended to know everything about the internal Alignak depths… most of them are intended to expert eyes but the provided information are a bit explained thanks to smart Grafana dashboards.
